No. Runs fine when starting with the key in the ignition. Ill figure it out, this isn't really the tread for troubleshooting anyways. Thanks.

If just one is bad, they won't hold the gate up. I paid just $1 for just one at the boneyard, still going strong.

Had that happen today. Hit the remote as I approached, heard it start, got in the car, zero RPM'S. Huh. Why did it stall?

Turns out it was running. It's Ohio Bike Week here and I couldn't hear it over the din. Runs pretty smooth for a 12 year old car. I just needed to insert and turn the key and the panel lit up, showing 800 RPM or so.

Today , I replaced the inner tie rod ends, I used a clamp style tool to remove and replace the pieces
I didn’t take photos but this illustrates how to use the tool

I torqued the tie rod to 70 lb ft

Interesting tool. Never saw one before.

Yesterday felt smug for fixing the SS rr window regulator. Today, the knock sensor code is back. It comes and goes randomly, it seems, making me think it's a wire or connector. No looking forward to chasing that one.

Other good news, replacing the purge valve in the 2011LS seems to have fixed the evap leak; the code hasn't returned, knock on wood. (Pun intended.)

Ordered a replacement driver window switch pod. Already fixed the original once, and the new one is only $7.49 shipped.

Changed the air filter on my Camaro today. Took about 45 seconds. No tools. Just figured I’d post this for all of us that have changed the filter in our HHRs.
